Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “Seed removal: small 9 ‘large’ mammals In neotropical forests most studies on seed predation have considered mainly medium and large mammals ([750 g), such as pacas, agoutis, and peccaries (e.g., Forget 1993; 1994; Wright et al. 2000; Silman et al. 2003; Beck 2006).”
Fruit Availability and Peccary Frugivory in an Isolated Atlantic Forest Fragment: Effects on Peccary Ranging Behavior and Habitat Use (2007, background): “Both Tayassu species are important frugivores in Neotropical forests and play key roles as seed predators and dispersers (Kiltie 1981; Bodmer 1989, 1991; Fragoso 1999; Beck 2005) and have particularly strong ecological relationships with palm fruits (Kiltie 1981; Bodmer 1989; Beck 2006).”
Home Range and Habitat Preferences of White-Lipped Peccaries (Tayassu pecari) in Calakmul, Campeche, Mexico (2009, background): “B. alicastrum and M. zapota accounted for 48.15% and 18.37%, respectively, and have been found to be heavily consumed by white-lipped peccaries in the Calakmul region (Pérez-Cortéz and Reyna-Hurtado 2008) and elsewhere (Beck 2006).”
Do Neotropical peccary species (Tayassuidae) function as ecosystem engineers for anurans? (2010, background): “Both trophic and non-trophic interactions of peccary with other species contribute and maintain Neotropical forest structure and species diversity (Beck 2005, 2006; Gascon & Zimmerman 1998, Taber et al. 2008).”
Defaunation and biomass collapse of mammals in the largest Atlantic forest remnant (2017, background): “For instance, the foraging behavior of large herds of white-lipped peccaries feeding on seeds, trampling seedlings and rooting of seedling and saplings may have a profound effect on plant composition (Beck, 2006) and rodent abundance and diversity (Galetti et al., 2015).”
Range-wide declines of a key Neotropical ecosystem architect, the Near Threatened white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari (2011, background): “Given its high biomass and diverse consumption of fruit and seeds, this species may regulate populations of numerous terrestrial frugivores via exploitative and interference competition (Beck, 2005, 2006; Keuroghlian & Eaton, 2008a).”
